Day 411 || green flags

In a healthy relationship, you will feel respected by your partner. Your emotions are validated and they don’t tell you how to feel or get angry with your emotional states. 

A healthy relationship means you and your partner respect that you each have lives outside of each other. You respect each others space, privacy, relationships, and goals. Encouraging each other to be full people outside of your relationship can make such a huge difference in both party’s mental health. 

A healthy partnership means each partner is treated as an equal. Conflicts can be rational and calm and openly communicated. You are both free to express your feelings and you understand each other’s boundaries and preferences within them. 

 A healthy relationship is definitely not always perfect, but abusive or controlling behavior should never be a part of a healthy relationship.  

Partners treat each other like that - partners.
